Hey, We are almost a hundred years old nation!
We have bears and trees and lakes and ducks and good music:
Finlandia

Congrats! Seems like nobody likes being ruled by the Russians.

Congratulations! I have in my heart a special place for the land of Sibelius and Mannerheim.

Many thanks, buroak!
I may have posted this before, but it's a pictorial of Finnish war time pipe tobacco action: http://imgur.com/a/NFo7M

jarit, You are quite welcome. Thank you for sharing those photos again. I remember the original posting, but I had not looked through them in a long time.

Thanks jarit, for reminding me I haven't listened to Finlandia in a long time. I'll give it spin on the turntable today in celebration.
Holy crap deathmetal! I checked out some music samples of Beherit's music on Amazon and I have to admit I've never heard anything like it. Very interesting stuff, definitely leaning toward the dark side. Like Laurie Anderson, I like difficult music. Perfect for Halloween too.

Very much toward the dark side, since it emerged from black metal. Glad you enjoyed. You might enjoy this interview with the creator:

Other great stuff from Finland: Sentenced, Demilich, Impaled Nazarene, Belial, Demigod, Amorphis and Desecresy.

Happy Independence Day to my Finnish friends. You have what must be one of the best national anthems in the world. I had a friend of Finnish descent in high school, and he had relatives with amazing names. I'll have to do this phonetically, but one of them was named Epitulke Molinen. With a byline like that, you could publish anything anywhere. (Epi-too-li-key Mo-lin-nen).
